So much fiber, so little time: Inching onwards

Inching onwards

I have excavated the big loom and just need to get the dust elephants vacuumed up so that I can start warping a corduroy-in-poppana sample. (A house with Keeshonden never wastes time on dust bunnies; instead fur morphs immediately into larger lifeforms. I'm just glad I've got wood floors and not carpet.)

Over the weekend, I played around with the very soft alpaca-silk-wool handspun. I'd really like to do something with this yarn, but I can't decide what. In the meantime, I have a triangular doll shawl.

And this morning, I saw a job posting that might just fit, and I've applied (gotta love online apps!). A friend also told me about someone looking for a weaver, so I've emailed about that too.

Good luck on the job front...
I've been on strike for almost 5 months. We've just been offered a tentative settlement contract that doesn't look too bad, so if the majority vote for acceptance than I'll be back to work by September 20th.

Patterns

Lace work

A collection of knitted lace shawls, stoles and wimples. Many were done in handspun yarn. Click on an image for a larger picture and description, plus charts for some.

Socks and small knits

These are all handknitted socks and other small items. Most of these were knitted from my own handspun yarn. Click on an image for a larger picture and description, plus charts for some.

(Most of the Celtic designs came from Celtic Charted Designs by Co Spinhoven, an excellent and inexpensive resource.)

Doll Knits

A collection of (mostly) knitted doll clothing.

Sweaters

Back in the dark ages (as in pre-1987), I used to knit sweaters. Nowadays, I rarely do, so I'll use this album to record some of what I have done and may yet to be.
